What's Left Of The Flag Tab por Flogging Molly

G                            C           G 
His eyes they closed and his last breath spoke 
       Em             D
He had seen all to be seen 
  G                      C    G 
A life once full, now an empty vase 
         D                     G 
With the blossoms on his early grave 
     C                 G 
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy 
       Em              D 
And by mornin' we'll be free 
         G                    C      G 
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear 
                 D                   G 
And raise what's left of the flag for me. 
 

Then the rosary beads count them one, two, three 
                           Em 
Fell apart as they hit the floor. 
       G                     C  
In our garb of black we must pay respect 
       D                   G 
To the color we're born to mourn. 
     C                  G 
Walk away me boys, walk away me boys 
       Em              D 
And by mornin' we'll be free 
         G                    C      G 
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear 
                 D                   G 
And raise what's left of the flag for me.

G                                C        G 
In his place there grew an angry festered wound 
            Em          D
Filled with hatred and remorse 
          G                         C        G 
Where I'd pick and scratch till the blood it matched 
           D                      G 
The silent rage now that fills my lungs 
G                                 C        G 
For there are many ways to kill a man they say 
     Em               D
With bayonet, axe, or sword 
          G                   C         G 
But son a bullet fired from a shapeless guise 
               D                   G 
Leaves but the shell of a Thompson gun. 

     C                   G 
Walk away me boys, walk away me boys 
       Em               D 
And by mornin' we'll be free 
         G                     C      G 
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear 
                 D                    G 
And raise what's left of the flag for me.

Em               Em             D 
From the Eastern to the Western shore 
Em                 Em             D 
Where many men and many more will fall. 

       C                G 
But no angel flies with me tonight 
     Em                D 
Till freedom reigns on all 
              G                 C          G 
And curse the name for which we slaved our days 
           D                     G 
Till every man shall his kingdom come

            G                        C       G 
But sure as night turns day ends the passion play 
      Em                 D
Oh my god what have they done 
     G                       C      G 
With madman's rage well they dug our graves 
        D                   G 
But the dead rise again you fools 

      C                  G 
Walk away me boys, walk away me boys 
       Em              D 
And by mornin' we'll be free 
         G                     C      G 
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear 
                 D                   G 
And raise what's left of the flag for me.

Walk away me boys, walk away me boys

And by mornin' we'll be free 
         G                     C      G  
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear 
(no chord)
And raise what's left of the flag for me.
